As a club our fan base of the die hard who go week in and out and loyal support is around the 8K mark, its dropping every year through natural causes.
We I estimate in the wider world around 20 K loyal supporters who follow the team from afar.
My point to this whole reply is that in the great scheme of things most Coventarians only prick their ears up to the club when something good is going like a cup run. Where are the thousands that attended the Ricoh to watch Crewe beat us in a tin pot trophy ?......... they in all honesty don't give a shite about the club. no honestly its not about the club for them more a potential day out.
This club will go nowhere without fans and I doff my cap to you all who go every week or indeed whenever you can. The disappointment is that through all of this "someone, somewhere" decided that the platform for football ( soccer ....) is now to be eradicated in Coventry and replaced by Rugby Union as to those "someone's somewhere" believe it will generate more money for them in the round, no doubt a minor conspiracy but viable given the events of the club with a long standing pedigree in British and world football. ( I still cannot believe you could buy a replica cove reserve kit in the markets of Bahrain )
We are being left to die like a fish out of water, this has been the case now especially with the Stadia Fiasco.
You can never kill a club. There will always be the support. Teams come and go so do managers.
Over to you........
